1 Corinthians 10:13 (TPT): [The Way of Escape] We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial, God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (Mirror Bible): Your situation is not unique! Every human life faces contradictions! Here is the Good News: God believes in your freedom! He has made it possible for you to triumph in every situation that you will ever encounter!

Greetings,

Monday is here. Okay, the weekend is over (shake it off…lol), back to the routine. We all have times of trials and testing in our lives. As we continue this journey, we call life, may we live in the NOW. Remaining aware of our Lord's Presence in and around us.

Read today's scripture with me, and let's ponder it's message to us……, "We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it." I love this! He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial. How awesome is this! Our Lord never leaves us nor forsakes us. His unconditional love is always Present. Read on….., "And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously." An opportunity to trust him more. We find more opportunities to trust Him in times of trials than at any other time. When we find ourselves in times of darkness, the LIGHT shines more brightly than usual in our lives. Think about it.

Take a moment to meditate. Place your hands over your heart…..Breathe in…..Jesus, shine brightly today in my life……Breathe out…..Thank You Jesus……Breathe in …..Jesus, You illuminate my life……Breathe out……I Love You Jesus.

Monday here we are experiencing Jesus as the LIGHT of our lives…….Breathe in…..Breathe out.

Let's pray……, "Father, help us to recognize You as our LIGHT in our darkest times. Help us to experience You in our lives as the reality that You are. Bless this day. Protect us and our families. We come to You in the name of Jesus." All together, say, "Amen."

Pray for one another.....

In Jesus,
